APPROACHES TO GENERATING IDEAS

Brainstorming: Under this approach all the members of the group attempt to make suggestions. This helps in generating a large number of product ideas.

Improvement of an existing product: a business idea may be related to removing shortcomings in an existing product by means of technology. E.g. color TV was an improvement over black and white TV.

BRAINSTORMINGBrainstorming is a method of generating ideas and sharing

knowledge to solve a particular commercial or technical problem, in which participants are encouraged to think without interruption. Brainstorming is a group activity where each participant shares their ideas as soon as they come to mind. At the conclusion of the session, ideas are categorised and ranked for follow-on action.

During brainstorming sessions there should be no criticism of ideas: You are trying to open up possibilities and break down wrong assumptions about the limits of the problem.

Ideas should only be evaluated at the end of the brainstorming session – this is the time to explore solutions further using conventional approaches.
